The Lakes Golf Club
The Lakes
A regular host for major professional tournaments in Australia, the Lakes is defined by kikuyu grass fairways, slippery bentgrass greens that rest atop ancient sand hills bordered by water and the Airport-City Freeway that bisects the course. The signature hole is the 14th, a tantalizing short par-5 that dares long hitters to clear the water short and attempt to reach a deep, heavily undulating green. The famous native Shark, Greg Norman, once made a 12 on this hole in competition.
